Winter Wildlife Walk will take you on a stroll through the Crane Beach dunes while learning about the plants and animals that call this special place home. You may be familiar with Crane Beach, but have you ever visited the dune trails? The dunes of Castle Neck are a much less explored world unto themselves. They offer one of the most accessible dune landscapes in New England and trails that provide a firsthand look into the delicate and ever-changing dune habitat. This includes numerous lookouts offering stunning views of Choate Island and the varied ecosystems of Castle Neck, including Pitch Pine forests and naturally occurring cranberry bogs.
This hike explores the vast array of animals and plants that thrive in this harsh ecosystem. We will learn about survival in the dunes, the various ecosystems that make up Castle Neck and how everything works together in harmony. The hike covers approximately four miles at a nice walking pace.
